actually he announced a new era which would make the world run different...

if you evaluate what he wrote:

1- a new war that would start in 1999... Ben Laden started building his empire in 99... after he worked for the USA for a long time, with deals and governments

2- a new league to protect the community would raise after a period of war, not built with the regular forces... actually, the USA are the ones dealing with the "bad guys", which is new to the European way to deal with the wars from the last 800 years.

3- a society without war, willing to preserve peace and protecting the communities would raise from the others... my country, Quebec, is without war - we never had war, we have UN agency, no real military (the only army we have is from Canada) - we are the only country willing to build a real Blue Berrets force to protect the others instead of going into wars.

4- a wreck of the financial society that would lead to a new way to build society... we usually call it the StarTrek era, and we're going directly into it today with the financial crisis everybody is living.

5- new plague coming from the south... AIDs is a good plague if someone can say the opposite.. lol

... i just took 2 minutes to name these... there are tons of other things that Nostradamus is listing...
